Ferry crossing

                                                      

 I had partaken of happy hour on a rooftop bar and ate a meal too hot for me to handle, so it was with trepidation I boarded a 3-hour ferry ride to Langkawi Island in Malaysia.  However the seas were calm and I didn’t turn green.  We arrived in Langkawi and when Joan saw a Starbucks coffee shop, there was no holding Joan and Barb back.  They both have a serious caffeine problem.  After their fix, we headed to our hotel – The tropical Resort.  It is a nice hotel, situated 100m from the beach and we walk through the woods to get there.   It is clean, has hot water and a very nice staff.  I quite like this place.  We walked through the town and we have several nice restaurants to choose from.  The beach is clean, with a bathtub hot ocean.  Joan is turning into a water baby.  She spends more time in the water than any of us.  Another thing we like about Langkawi is – laundry costs $1.50 per kilo.  We are superclean now.
